What does IHC - CEA - (Outlab) measure?
This immunohistochemistry (IHC) test detects carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) expression in tissue cells.

The test may help healthcare professionals assess the origin or characteristics of a tumour and support interpretation alongside tissue appearance, other IHC markers, imaging, and clinical findings.
